J+S Blue Light Blocking Glasses Anti Eyestrain

Bought these for my daughter who spends a lot of time looking at a computer screen. She has found them to be very helpful in reducing her eye fatigue and occasional headaches from concentrated computer screen usage. They fit well. No problem with the product whatsoever.

The only complaint I have is that they’re heavy on my nose. The fit is great and they did seem to help reduce some eye strain. Added bonus (or not): you’ll kinda resemble Harry Potter.

The main question is do these actually work to reduce eye strain and headaches? Yes.

I did a little bit of research on different brands and decided to go with these because they were straightforward with what the product offered without over-hyping it with needless marketing terms. They are very light-weight but they don’t feel like cheap at all. It’s an odd kind of plastic that is sturdy and solid and doesn’t immediately feel like plastic. They are smooth, flat and what I feel could be considered low-profile. I’ve worn them for as little as an hour and for as long as eight hours and they are perfectly comfortable. I haven’t once noticed any discomfort from wearing them, including while wearing them with circumaural headphones. The headphones fit over them comfortably and I can barely notice I have the glasses on. So if you’re worried about discomfort while gaming with headphones, don’t be.

In the two weeks that I’ve been using them I have seen a significant reduction in the minor headaches associated with staring at a computer all day. I’ve also noticed much less eye strain but these don’t cure that completely. I also alternated using them one day and not the next and the difference is very noticeable to me. They do help with eye strain while gaming but it’s minimal, but enough that I do wear them when I play. The biggest benefit has been using them in normal computer tasks: emails, excel, reading lots of text, etc.

My only problem with the glasses is the nose bridge. It’s a wide bridge so if you have a narrow or even a medium nose the top of the frame sits very near your line of vision. This wouldn’t be a problem if they were reading glasses or if you’re tilting your head down to look at a phone, but when you are staring straight at a computer screen they create an annoyance. I constantly find myself tilting my head slightly back so my eyes stare through the center of the lenses which is uncomfortable. I think a great addition to the product might be the inclusion of some slim nose pads that could be applied if needed – I would even pay a little more for that. So now I’m left finding some nose pads to make these glasses fit perfectly. Not the fault of the manufacturer because they are a universal size, but a gripe nonetheless.

At the end of the day I consider these glasses money very well spent and I’m kicking myself for not having invested in these a long time ago. They come with a hard protective case and a lens cleaning cloth which is a very nice addition but I think the inclusion of some nose pads would make this a perfect product. They are five stars, 4.5 if Amazon let you rate by half a star.

These arrived arrived two days after I placed the order and just after I came home from school. I opened the package up, a small bubble wrap envelope with in it, a wonderous looking black leather case and inside the glasses I just so badly needed. I put them on and made my life ten times more comfortable that day. The glasses serve its purpose, and serve it well. They can be seen blocking and reflecting potentially harmful blue lights should you take a quick pic in front of any monitor (even a smartphone, yes my iPhone kills my eyes just as much as my three monitors). As a high school student with frequent time spent on the computer and on my phone for constant communication and online assignments, I’ll say that this helped me with eye fatigue and gained some decent quality sleep. Long periods of gaming are definitely made more comfortable with less squinting to adjust from various colour changes and even prevents me from tearing whenever I blink now. This magical thing is made well; they’re light, they’re durable, and they have very reliable hinges and open smoothly. They fit well, resting on the nose without any feeling of slipping off (I’ve got a curved nose). This review agrees with many others, and to be frank, J+S can give Gunnar Optiks a run for their money. As a Gunnar owner as well, I’ve found that I’ve spent more time wearing these than I have with my Gunnar Sheadogs which are significantly thinner and feel more prone to breakage. These clean relatively easier than the Gunnars as well. These have been put to use for the past week with around 40 hours worth of computer time. Should you be in need for computer glasses for games or work and don’t want to spend too much money for quality, consider this.
